Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

With the web client, I find that resuming an audiobook can frequently resume a bit further ahead by a few seconds than where I paused or even if it is right where I paused, it can be difficult to remember what was happening if it's in the middle of a sentence. I'd request the feature that other audiobook players have to be able to set a configurable auto-rewind so that any time I resume/play an audiobook it rewinds back 5-10 seconds. Currently I just have to manually rewind this duration but this can be difficult when using headset controls etc which don't have a rewind button.

Why would this be helpful?

Would avoid the need to manually rewind every time an audiobook is resumed.

+1 for this request. I alternate between the ABS client on mobile (which already has the requested feature) and a browser on PC (which does not have the requested feature) throughout the day. Would be nice to have the same behavior in both environments.

This is badly needed. It would be perfect to have the option to adjust the rewind time automatically based on the time since pausing (synced between app and web client), i.e. the longer the pause, the longer the rewind duration
